The possibility has arisen that perhaps Napoleon saw himself as a "Man of color" fighting the Albino forces which had captured, and now controlled Europe.

Might the real purpose of his Egyptian escapade then, been to secure a source of Black troops?

Certain quotes attributed to him, seems to suggest a certain empathy for the wretched condition of Blacks in Egypt.

(Chandler, 220) During the day, the troops distributed leaflets containing Napoleon's proclamation to the people of Egypt. In it, he proclaims the coming of the French to be the will of Allah, to restore their rights and free them from the tyranny of the Marmelukes. (Bourrienne, 71) Also it declares, "What wisdom, what talents, what virtues distinguish the Marmelukes, so that they have exclusive possession of everything that makes life sweet and enjoyable? Is there a fine piece of land? It belongs to the Marmelukes. Is there a beautiful slave girl, a fine horse, a handsome house? Those things too belong to the Marmelukes. If Egypt is their farm, let them show us the lease that God gave them on it!" Of course this was but so much hot air, all Republican spirit aside. Bonaparte was pandering to the fellahin to rally around him, or at least to tolerate his presence in their country.


The next morning, the Sheiks and Imams of Cairo surrendered the city, and on July 24th accompanied by martial music from the band, Bonaparte entered the capital city of Egypt. Cairo, disappointed Napoleon, as had Alexandria before it. He wrote to the directory, "It is difficult to find a land more fertile and a people more impoverished, ignorant and degraded." He felt the 300,000 people of Cairo were the, "most wretched population in the world." (Castelot, 108-109)


BACKGROUND:

It is believed that it was during the rule of the Abbasid caliphs, that the Arabs started importing Turks as Slave Soldiers (Mamluks), though it could be earlier.

By the time of Napoleon, the Turks had long since overthrown and banished the Arabs.


Mamluk Cavalry




Some might find this bio of Napoleon in Egypt interesting. Might also want to remember that it is written by an Albino.

Murat was a Muur!

General Murat Leader of Napoleon's cavalry

RENOWNED CAVALRY LEADER OF NAPOLEON AND KING OF NAPLES (1767-1815)

JOACHIM MURAT, who assumed the name of Joachim Napoleon, and was later King of Naples, came from the Department of Lot, in the Auvergne, France, a region known for the Negroid strain in its inhabitants, many of whom are descended from the Moors who settled in that region after they had been driven out of Spain. It is estimated that more than a million of these people of African ancestry migrated to that region. This is the same part of France from which came Bernadotte, King of Sweden, and Pierre Laval, twice Premier of France, both of whom were dark-skinned and were commonly said to be of Moorish ancestry. In fact, Murat himself claimed descent from a Moorish king, and Frederic Masson, noted writer on Napoleon’s cavalry, said it was commonly believed that he was of that ancestry.

The most striking proof of Murat’s Negro strain comes from Laura, Duchess d’Abrantés, famous writer of the times, who knew Murat intimately and was moreover well acquainted with evidences of Negro strain. She had lived in Portugal with her husband Marshal Junot, French ambassador, at a period soon after the Negro slaves there had been freed and there was still an abundance of mulattoes. She says of Murat, “There was a great deal of the Negro in his face. His nose, it is true, was not flat, but his lips were thick. This nose, although straight, lacked distinction, thus giving him in keeping with the rest of his features, at least the appearance of a half-breed.” She uses the word métis, which, in addition to meaning “half-breed,” is often used in France for “mulatto.” Indeed it is the same thing. Next to Napoleon himself Murat was the most spectacular figure of the Napoleonic era. Indeed, but for him there might have been no Napoleon of such greatness. Napoleon thought so much of him that he gave him his favorite sister, Marie Caroline, in marriage.

Arriving in Paris, the young Murat found work as a pot washer. Then he joined the army and found such favor with Napoleon that the latter made him one of his aides-de-camp. In Egypt, where he served directly under the command of General Dumas, a mulatto born in Haiti, he distinguished himself and was made general of a division.

Devoted body and soul to Napoleon, after they returned to France he urged Napoleon to make himself dictator. When Napoleon hesitated, he drew his sword and declared he would not sheathe it until Napoleon was dictator of France. A few days later, with sixty of his guards, he burst into the National Convention in Paris, as Cromwell had done in the English Parliament, dominated it, and kept his word to make Napoleon supreme. “Good citizens,” he said to the 500 members, “the Convention is dissolved,” and he drove them all out.

In reward, Napoleon appointed him the next most powerful man in France, and married his youngest sister, Marie Caroline, later Queen Caroline, to him. He also made him Governor of Paris and later for his victories over the Germans made him, successively, a Marshal of the Empire, Grand Duke of Berg and Cleves, and Grand Admiral of France. Finally when the Bourbons were ousted, he made him ruler of Naples, one of the richest countries of southern Europe. But the two were later to be enemies. During the disastrous campaign in Russia where he was in command of the cavalry, Murat deserted his post to return to Naples, upon which Napoleon sent him a most insulting letter.

Doxie - how many times must you be told:
Albino is NOT a racial epithet. It is a SCIENTIFIC term describing an INHERITED MEDICAL condition whereby people with defective "P" genes produce offspring devoid of the ability to produce melanin. These offspring are termed Albinos. When people with this condition foolishly breed within their group - like Europeans and some Asians do, they produce an entire subspecies of Humans called Albinos.

Now Doxie dear, please think, where in any of that is there a racial epithet?
